Here are some pictures from Halloween. Arden and Channing were both witches. And while I usually do not dress up at home (just at school) Arden twisted my arm. So I drug out the Athena Godess of Wisdom get up and headed out! We had a blast...hope everyone else did as well!

Here are some pictures (thanks to Jenn) from the pageant. Arden did so well and never showed any signs of being nervous. She made it back to the top 20 (32 LOL) and we were all so proud of her. As soon as we got back to the truck to change her clothes, she asked if she could do it again next year! Hearing that made it all worth it...all of it. The dress stress, the shoes, the hair, and my mom

Today Arden turned 7 years old. I have no idea where time goes. She had her first soccer game of the season this morning. She did a great job playing defense (#8) and Channing loved being able to run around Pistole Park. We came home and had cupcakes, opened presents and watched UT get beat...:(. Channing woke up from her nap hungry and has decided that feeding herself is much more fun than if I

and Channing needed a chair to sit in to cheer on her favorite soccer player...Arden! So we picked this one up last week in the Murfreesboro at Dick's sporting goods. They were on sale for $9.99! Of course, we got pink, and I took it by Kathy's yesterday to get it monogrammed! It turned out so cute! I can't wait for the season to get into full swing!! Hope everyone has a great week...Monday will

Channing is infatuated with animals. All animals! She thinks she can go right up to them and "give them love", even if they do not reciprocate! Our dogs are no different. They have always been tolerant of kids, but do not like to be bothered...unless you come bearing food! Cute, cute, cute!!!

Mike and I had a blast taking Channing down the big slides. It is much easier going down than it is going up, but a great workout!

On Sunday afternoons, we come home from church, change clothes and usually just relax. We nap, watch TV, play outside and usually I work on homework. This Sunday was no different. We got home and I told Arden to go change her clothes and hang up her dress. She skipped off to her bedroom without an argument...shocker, and came back out a few minutes later with her play clothes on. I never

Arden and I love tomatoes, but homegrown ones are the BEST! So we are trying our hand at a little gardening...and so far it has been a success! Our wonderful neighbors, Jerry and Shirley, gave Arden some tomato plants a few weeks ago when they were doing their planting. So I planted them in Miracle Grow", stuck and tied them up and off they went. They are growing like crazy! I can't wait to make

This is Arden's fourth year to play ball at Morrison, and Mike and I have coached the last three. We love sports around our house and if you have met my husband, you know that I am in no way exaggerating! He eats, sleeps and breathes everything sports. So now onto why I am posting...to brag! She hit her first homerun last week, then a grand slam in the next game and TWO home runs tonight! I

As most of you know, Channing will be having tubes put in her ears at 7:15 in the morning. It is a very routine procedure, but as a mommy, I am a little nervous because she will be put to sleep. She has been sick constantly since Thanksgiving with ear infections and has been on every kind of antibiotic known to man. NOTHING has worked and we have been in and out of the dr's office about every two

Arden was in the Little Miss Warren County Pageant tonight. She did wonderfully and is mine and her daddy's princess no matter what. We don't usually do pageants but she and her Auntie decided she was going to to this one and I didn't discourage her. However, I have never encouraged her to do them because pageants have never been my thing, but she had fun, so that is all that matters. We love you

You know spring has arrived at our house because every year since we have lived in Remington Point, a robin has built a nest in my front door wreath. One year I didn't know the eggs had hatched and while I was watering my ferns, the babies all jumped out of the nest at the same time. I about had a heart attack!! They are always the cutest things when they are jumping around trying to fly. It is

Last Saturday, we had a Princess Brunch at church. All the little girls K-5th grade were invited to dress up and be treated like royalty! I was so disappointed that I didn't feel well enough to go, because I had really looked forward to it. But mom took Arden for me and got some cute pictures. She will always be my princess! A huge thanks to Miss Lexie for lending us her gorgeous gown!

I want to thank all of my friends and family who have called, texted, and helped me out the past couple of days. I got up Tuesday morning feeling yucky and aching all over, but had lots of stuff to do at school and figured I would be fine. So I popped a couple of ibuprofen and went on all day feeling ok, but not great. By 2:00 that afternoon, I was miserable. I came home and went straight to bed

Ms. Jeanna always fills me in on the funny things Arden does throughout the day. I usually get a phone call at least once a week because Arden has done or said something comical. Well, today took the cake.They were discussing the uses of an encyclopedia and how helpful they are when you need to research a topic. To which Arden replied, "Or you can just Google it".

I went shopping over the weekend and purchased this vinyl lettering at Kohl's for half price ($14.99) AWESOME and decided to put it up tonight. I LOVE it! It is just what this wall needed. And what's even better, it only took about five minutes to put it up...with no help from Mike. Mom helped me decide on how far apart the words should be and I think it turned out perfect. I have always liked

Sorry I have been absent from blogging. I have been super busy with school, church camp, Parent Teacher conferences, grad classes, Relay for Life... and just life! I know everyone is just as busy as I am because that is just life these days and we have to learn to adapt and go on. I hate that I have had to put blogging on the back burner, but it isn't a priority right now. I am trying to balance

Tonight was the Little Miss Valentine Pageant. It is sponsored by the Morrison Ruritan and it is always a great event. Arden had to crown the 2009 winner tonight. She was so excited and couldn't understand why she couldn't be in it again. All of the little girls were precious, of course I had a few favorites. Here are a few pics from tonight.I also cut about 8-9 inches off of my hair today, and

These days tend to slip up on me when I least expect them...when I think all is well with the world and then BAM! Our lesson at church tonight was Phillipians Ch. 4 vs.1-23 I don't think I have ever read this chapter in its entirety,

Today is my sis, Paula's, birthday. I won't say how old she is but my Mike is 9 days older, so you can do the math...well if you know how old he is! :) She has been there for me through thick and thin, good and bad, happy and sad. Our family is so very close and even though she and I were only children, it never seemed that way. We always had each other, and spent every minute together,

Okay, I know that cake doesn't look as good as if Paula had made it, but she did brag on it and Salem said I might be her future partner! So I think those are pretty good reviews for my first attempt at a catering gig! HEHE!Here are some pictures from our Super Bowl/Birthday Bash on Sunday night. We had about 30 people here and the food...well, it was great. We had ribs, wings, chicken salad,

Well, where do I start? Since my last post, we were actually out of school for a total of 6 days! That was VERRRRYYYY nice! However, I was ready to go back and get on schedule...or so I thought! But while we were off I stayed pretty busy cleaning house, doing homework and just hanging out. On Monday night I hosted Keno for my girlfriends from church (missed you Tanya). We had a blast and I won a

It has been so long since I have had time to post what's going on in our lives, but I have a good excuse. Actually, I have lots of them: going back to school, sick baby, homework, and still trying to have a life. Going back to school has been a challenge, but it is fun all at the same time. So far, I have a 99 avg. and have made A's on my last two papers. I love writing papers, but have always

We have had alot going on at our house the past couple of weeks. I am sure everyone else feels like I do...too much to do and not enough time. We had a fabulous Christmas and, as usual, ate too much, slept too late and got too many gifts, but I am so thankful for it all. This Christmas we special because it was Channing's first, but she could have cared less, so it was still really all about

Here is the press release that was in today's paper about the 1208 trooper class. Mike and Rodney rode back and forth together during the training, so he and his family feel like my family too! I am very proud of both of them! I have known Rodney my entire life and graduated high school with him, he was in my mom's class in 4th grade and, well, Mike met him when he pulled him over one day!

Last week Channing had her 6 month pictures made at McAffee's. We were about 5 weeks over due because the day she was orignally scheduled, she was sick, I was sick and Arden was sick! So better late than never. She did fabulous and we got some really cute shots. They only post one picture on their website so this is the only one I will see until I go to the viewing next week.

Ever since Channing was born, people have mistaken her for a boy, but as of today, hopefully that won't happen anymore!!! She got her ears pierced and was a trooper! She only cried for a second and was smiling in no time. She even got congratulatory kisses and hugs from Kirby, Mrs. Paula, Casey and Rae Rae!! We got Arden's pierced when she was about 8 weeks old and it was much easier! She was

back to school that is! After much thought and a lengthy discussion with Mike, I have decided to go back and finish up my Master's. It is something that I have been (loosely) working on since 2005, and have wanted to complete, but with Mike being gone, a new baby, a new job, and all of the other things in life, I couldn't imagine trying to squeeze one more committment into my schedule. But I

Then, last Sunday afternoon, she pulled the one next to it while watching a movie. I told her she was going to have to slow down or the tooth fairy was going to go broke. She got 15$ for her first one, but only 2$ for the second one. I told her that the economy was

After a great meal and an "almost" visit to the ER with Channing (that will be another post), we headed home. As we crossed the county line, Mike said, "Why don't we go to the Pitmon's house to see the lights?", and, of course, Arden giggled with delight and agreed!! It was

But that all worked out thanks to Kirby, Carrie and Auntie because they all took great care of my babies. On Thursday morning we headed

Yesterday was Channing's 6 month check up, so you know what that means...shots! And not just the usual 3, she also had to get a flu shot, as well. But she did great and is growing like crazy!! She is sitting up all by herself, has learned to drink from a straw (SO FUNNY), and has finally begun to keep herself entertained a bit. Arden loved her bouncy seat, swing and walker; Channing has never

I am DONE!! I just put the finishing touches on my tree a few minutes ago and thought I would post some pictures. I usually have an "all Santa" tree because I have been collecting Santas since my mom began buying them for me in high school, and I always add a special one to my collection each year. And I usually put my tree in the living room, which means I have to take an end table out so I can

Ok, remember in one of my previous post I told you how Channing was sick with a virus and an ear infection. Well, I woke up with it around 1:00 Sunday morning and then about 6:00, Arden began throwing up. It was HORRIBLE!!!! Later on, I called mom to let her know that we were all sick, and she said that she had been sick all night too! Last night I called Jennifer to ask her a question, only to

Well, for 6 months we've dodged the bullet, but as of yesterday, Channing has had her first round of sickness. She has been running a temp. of 101 with a stomach virus, and has not been her usual "happy" self for a few days. So I took her to the Dr. today, and turns out, she has an ear infection. We are on the "pink stuff" for 10 days and hopefully on the road to a speedy recovery! I took her

Ok, I don't have my tree up yet, but by this weekend, I will. However, I do have my mantle, kitchen and dining room complete, thanks to my wonderful mother. She has helped me put everything together for the last couple of years and does a fabulous job. She is one of those people who can just visualize things, do it, and it turns out great. I am more of a concrete person and like to have it

Sorry if you missed my clues in the deleted comments, I just thought it would be more fun if I didn't give any clues!Thanks for playing along!

Gosh, Mrs. Paula, I cook so much I don't know which recipe to post! Hehe!! Ok, that couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone who knows me, knows that I do not like to cook because I hate having my CLEAN kitchen...DIRTY. Not a good thing! I do LOVE to bake Christmas goodies, cakes, candies etc. and can't wait to get started in the next week or so. The recipe that I am posting is one that

Over the weekend, the girls and I headed out to the Boro to get pics made for Christmas cards. I swear I could have bought everyone of them because they were all fantastic, but I had to narrow it down to two. We had a great day together! We got pictures made and then went to Chuck E Cheese for Arden's report card reward! She made all 100/+ again this 6 weeks, so she deserved a little something!

Tanya and Veronica both tagged me to share unusual/strange facts about myself. Thanks girls for thinking of me! Here goes...1. When I fold clothes, I have to smell them as I fold. I love the smell of downy and it never gets old, no matter how many times I do it!2. I vacuum EVERY DAY!!! I love to hear the stuff on the floor getting sucked up.3. I LOVE MY ELECTRIC BLANKET!! Greatest invention ever!

Arden had to disguise a paper turkey so he wouldn't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. So we decided to make her turkey into a chicken! The turkey understands that no one eats chicken on Thanksgiving, so if he becomes one, he is certain to be safe from the hunter's gun this holiday season! I can't wait to see all of the other kid's turkeys. I know they will be adorable!

This...Tonight, as I was getting ready to put Channing down, Arden asked to get her to sleep for me. I never dreamed Channing would actually let her, but she went right to sleep! Arden loves to play mommy and is absolutely the best big sister ever! She has never been jealous, and is always a huge help! I love this picture and will cherish it forever! How lucky I am to be their mommy!

My baby girl made the paper! She and some other youth from the county will be singing (she and Abe are singing a duet) on Nov. 14th to kick off the Operation Christmas Child program. This is such a wonderful event and helps those in need all over the world . If you are interested in participating, read the full article for details!

McPalin didn't win, but I am not a sore loser. We still have to move on and hope for the best. I am, however very disappointed, as is Arden. She and I watched the results come in last night and every time the commentator would say "projected to win" she would come unglued because she thought they were talking about the entire election and not just a particular state. I have tried very hard to

Last night was so much fun! We started early and hit up our Remington Point neighbors first with Kirby and Conman! He was Spider Man, but for some reason, I forgot to take any pics of them. I am sure Kirby will have some on her blog soon. I did take one of Arden's "boy" friends down the street! She loves to play with them and even watches for their mom's car to come down the road so she can

As I am sure most of you know by now, I am supporting the McCain/Palin ticket in the upcoming election. Regardless of who you are supporting, you have to admit that all of the SNL spoofs have been hilarious! Of all the skits so far, this one is my favorite and I had to share!

Last night was our Fall Festival at Morrison and we had an AWESOME turnout. Like I have said before, Morrison school is made up of the greatest people in the county and they really proved that last night! Every year, the students always ask for a talent show, but we could never do one because of the other programs that were planned. But not this year! Our new guidance counselor, Jennifer Dunlap

I was nominated last week for this award by Tanya Jones. Tanya and I go to church together and, even though we don't get to see each other very often, I do consider her a great friend. She is one of those people who I could call at anytime and she would be there to help. She also has the cutest little girl in the world. Olivia is an absolute doll baby and I love to see what she will be

This is what your yard looks like after a 6 year old and an 8 year old get through "rolling" it. Last night, Arden spent the night at Carrie's and she let her and Caylie roll our yard. I watched the whole thing from our bedroom window and it was hilarious!!!! Needless to say, they aren't ready for the big leagues yet, but in time, I am sure their game will improve! I cleaned it up first thing

Here is a picture of my wonderful grandparents and Channing from our family dinner yesterday . Channing's middle name is Cope, which is my Granny Ma's maiden name, but was also her mother's maiden name. Confused yet??? Let me explain...my Granny Ma's mother's maiden name was Cope, but then she married a Cope. No, they were not related! But that is a little joke in our family. The swing they

I am so glad that our fall break is here. I don't have any plans for this week, except to clean house and help Arden organize her room. It is a disaster area in there!!! Friday night, Carrie, Caylie, Arden, Regan, Kirby and I are going to see Rascal Flatts! This will be the first time since Channing was born that I have had a night for me!

Wednesday, the 8th grade history classes put on a mock election and debate. The students did a fantastic job writing their speeches and preparing for this big day. Some of the local candidates were invited to attend, as well. John Greeter, Mike Niederhauser, Eric Stewart, and Judd Matheny came to show their support! How cool is that??? We have the best kids, teachers and staff of any school

Mrs. Paula Morris nominated me for this award a few days ago and I have so much going on that I haven't had the time to say Thank You! For those of you who do not know Paula, you are truly missing out! She is an absolute hoot and makes me laugh all the time...and Channing thinks she is pretty funny too!She, Mrs. Beth and

Mike got to call tonight and he had WONDERFUL NEWS!!! He will be working in Rutherford County!!! That was his first choice and we are ecstatic!! He and Justin will be working together and, like Jennifer said, "backing each other up" in times of need! What a relief that is!! This is another prayer answered!

My original post was going to be about me, and how upset I was that Mike didn't get to call tonight. He always calls on Tues. and Thurs. nights to check in. Today was the day they were to find out about their assignments and was a day we have been looking forward to for 3 months. But when I began to type, I realized how selfish that was and how ridiculous it was for me to be upset about
